The reactions of the water-soluble complexes [NiCR](2+) (where CR = 2,12-dimethyl-3,7,11,17-tetraazabicyclo[11.3.1]heptadeca-1(17),2,11,13,15-pentaene) and [NiKGH-CONH(2)](+) (where KGH-CONH(2) = lysylglycylhistidinecarboxamide) with sulfite/O(2) and peroxymonosulfate have been investigated using spectrophotometric and rapid-scan techniques. In most cases, the spectral changes suggest the formation of an intermediate Ni(III) species, followed by decomposition reactions which involve a back-reaction to Ni(II). Only in the case of the [NiCR](2+)-S(IV)-O(2) system is the formed Ni(III) species stable in solution. When sulfite and oxygen are used to oxidize Ni(II) to Ni(III), the reaction is oxygen dependent and an induction period could be observed, whereas the use of the strong oxidizing agent peroxymonosulfate resulted in no induction period and no oxygen dependence. In addition, the oxidation of Ni(II) to Ni(III) was faster if peroxymonosulfate was used instead of sulfite/O(2). The [NiKGH-CONH(2)](+) complex reacts much faster with sulfite/O(2) and peroxymonosulfate than the [NiCR](2+) does. Rate constants for the oxidation process and possible reaction mechanisms, based on available literature data, that can account for the observed kinetic observations in a qualitative way are presented, and the results are correlated with previously obtained data on DNA modification using these systems.
The
complex-formation reactions between aquated Fe(III) and S(IV)
oxides were investigated using rapid-scan techniques. The spectra
clearly show the formation of different Fe(III)−S(IV) complexes,
which depend on the concentration ratio and pH
employed.
The authors found an elevated ADCN risk for exposure to inhalable wood dust above 3.5 mg/m(3). The rareness of the disease does not allow the exclusion of risk below that concentration. For pigment stains, there is evidence for an association of historical exposure with the development of ADCN in German wood workers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
